Reuters quoted two insiders news reports, China reportCorporate byte beating is cooperating with American chip design corporate Broadcom to develop artificial intelligence (AI) chips to ensure that its Tiktok and other products have stable chip supply.
Sources said that bytebele and Broadcom have developed a 5 -nanometer ASIC chip (dedicated integrated circuit), which will be outsourced to TSMC in Taiwan.Sources also said that the design and manufacturing of chips will comply with the requirements of US export control regulations.
Reuters reported that since Washington has implemented high -end chip export control in 2022, Sino -US enterprises have not yet involved 5 nanometer or more advanced chip technology in the publicly announced cooperation.The trading of the two countries in this field usually involves low technical products.
Sources said that the cooperation between byte beating and Broadcom will help reduce procurement costs and ensure the stable supply of high -end chips.But the manufacturing of this new product is not expected to start this year.Sources said that although the design of the chip is progressing smoothly, it has not yet started the "flow film", that is, the designed chip for a small amount of trial production and testing.
Byte beating and Broadcom did not respond to Reuters' comment requests.TSMC refused to comment.Since 2022, Broadcom has been a commercial partner. The former has purchased Broadcom's high -performance exchange chips.
